Fishing reports, videos and more.
September is a special month for fishing on Cape Cod. The seasons begin to change and in many areas, the fishing begins to improve. September is the start of my favorite time of the year. I feel an exciting energy permeating through me. Call me crazy but I love September, and here’s why.1) Calm Conditions, Cool Mornings & …
This is part #1 of a video course I am creating about how to catch striped bass from shore. This 9 minute video is free for MFCC members (if you’re not a member you can download this video here for $5). Over the past few months quite a few folks have inquired about exactly how to …
Last night around 8PM I found myself meandering down a beach path. I hadn’t surfcasted the beach since my trip to outer Cape Cod – it felt good to smell the salt air again. The wind yesterday evening was calm and the skies overcast. It was going to be a dark night on the beach, which I …
(Continued from the report Sight Fishing For Stripers At Night | Cape Cod Fishing Report October 30 ) Seeing that bass, and the phosphorescence which it caused to light up and glow, got my blood pumping. At this time of the season I never know when my last good fish from shore will bite, and here …
As of right now the weather for this week is looking pretty reasonable. Unless the forecast changes (as it often does!) we might receive a day or two of “balmy” southwest winds. If you want to catch at least one more keeper striper from shore on Cape Cod, then I feel this is the week to do …
A common request I received throughout the 2014 season was to provide information about easy-to-access fishing spots. Many people here on MFCC wanted to fish spots where parking was free, simple and easy. In Provincetown two particular places come to mind. I feel comfortable sharing these productive spots here online because there is plenty of parking, …
Before I dive into this post, I want to let you know that I am thinking of hosting an in-person fishing class before the weather turns too cold. Topics covered would include how to work certain plugs like pencil poppers, how to fish a live eel and virtually anything you may personally be interested …
I watched as a set of breakers rolled in from the Atlantic Ocean towards one of the outer sandbars which ran parallel to the coast, about 50 yards offshore. The third wave in the set, which was the largest, curled at its top and fell forward, pounding hundreds, if not thousands of gallons of water …
(Continued from the report Surfcasting Cape Cod’s Backside Beaches | Day 2) In this video report I’ll share with you the scenery and experience of fishing one of Cape Cod’s most famous backside beaches. A few things you’ll see include: Stunning vistas of Outer Cape Cod’s impressive landscapes The tackle and lures I used for fishing …
I was feeling restless and I think Lauren could tell. Sometimes I feel an odd, uneasy feeling which permeates through my torso. Through past experience I’ve learned the feeling diminishes once I see the ocean and begin walking on the beach. Lauren understands, so without too much discussion I embarked on a 36 hour, overnight …
(Continued from the report Outer Cape Cod Fishing Report | October 16) My idea was to intercept one of the large migrating schools of stripers that swim south along the great beach of Outer Cape Cod during October. Huge bass to more than 70 pounds have been caught along this stretch of shoreline during the Octobers …
The entire MFCC crew and I had arrived at the previous evening’s hot spot just as the sun crept above the horizon. As a group we had walked 45 minutes in darkness, through woods and along a cliff, to get to this spot at this very moment. I could see several birds hovering over water no …
